[QUOTE="LokiDR, post: 668486, member: 6239"] I just read schism. You get an extra partial action for [i]purely mental tasks only[/i], so it it only works for a silent still spells, which could be cool in itself. Also, schism applies an extra cost of 2 power points/power while schism is running. I don't know how much of a cost that is, but it still is an extra cost. No AC benefit. No use to fighters. Range personal. And this is a third level power. That seems to make haste seem powerful to me, if a psionic power is supposed to be roughly balance to spell of the same level. If I was going to convert schism for wizards, I would keep the "purely mental" restriction, but make it a 2nd or 1st level spell. In Relics and Rituals, there is a very high level spell called "two minds". This stacks with haste and allows you split control of your body. So, while one mind is casting (using arms/torso) the second mind is walking. Then they switch in the same round, hence 2 spells. If it didn't stack with haste, this also would an interesting 3rd or 4th level replacement for haste. [/QUOTE]
